Mod scallops quilt, made with Midwest Moderns

(Layed out nicely on the bed, to get an idea of what I want to put where...)

I have spent some time this week finally sewing together my blocks that I made back here!!

Gahh! Can't believe it has been nearly two years since I started it,


But I have all the blocks sewn together now (finally!!)

(Here it is hanging over the ironing board!)

Just need to finish the sashing have done the first lot, but then I ran out ot fabric for the second, so waiting on it to arrive!

I am using Amy Butler Midwest Moderns and the "Mod Scallops" pattern by the gorgeous Mary Bird from Homespun workshop right here in Perth!

then to back it, quilt it, bind it and it's done!

Whoo-Hoo!! Bout time!!!

Hugs,

Last chance for the giveaway - leave a comment to win!! My gorgeous new plate rack, and other home pics..

As you know we have been doing a few renos and alot of painting... I don't have many pics yet, but I thought I would share a few anyway!!

Our son the rock star made Mr Deekie Belle and I this plate rack for our 25th wedding anniversary present - I love, love, love it!!!

Although he probably made it just for me as Mr Deekie Belle doesn't collect pretty little floral teacups and other such finery....:)!

Anyway, didn't he do a great job! I am so happy !!! And he said if anyone likes it he is taking orders...

From my front yard....

My darling arrived home from work the other morning just as the sun was rising through the trees after a rainstorm. He quickly snapped these on his phone from the front garden... There are few things as gorgeous as the tranquil beauty of the Aussie bush. I hope you like them...






I have done 20 of my blocks for my first quilt - 16 to go! The pattern is Mod Scallops by Mary Bird using Amy Butler Midwest Modern fabric. I can't wait to get it finished!



I will be posting another giveaway tomorrow, so stay tuned and have a great night!
